U+102B "ါ" Myanmar Vowel Sign Tall Aa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ါ
U+102B "ါ" Myanmar Vowel Sign Tall Aa is a combining diacritical mark used in the Myanmar script to represent the long vowel sound "aa," typically occurring in the final position of a syllable. It is visually distinguished from its counterpart U+102C "ာ" by its taller, more vertical shape, which is often required by certain consonant characters or for stylistic reasons in traditional orthography. As an integral component of the Burmese writing system, it modifies the inherent vowel of a consonant to create a distinct phonetic value, and it is encoded in the Unicode Standard to ensure consistent digital representation and exchange of Myanmar text across different platforms and devices.
